The local market has followed the lead from overseas markets today and is up strongly. On the daily chart it has moved up out of a congestion pattern and we bought five ASX 200 cfd’s.
The pattern on this weekly chart could be interpreted as a bearish flag type pattern. You could say the market is in a state of flux with an equal number of bulls and bears as the earnings season in the US unfolds.
The Nasdaq index has made a number of higher lows but is yet to move above the current resistance zone.
Whitehaven Coal is on the rise after their latest update. Price has cleared previous resistance highs and we added an additional holding to the educational portfolio. It will be interesting to see how the company distributes their huge amount of cash.
Life 360 is still working to clear the resistance zone.
After finally moving up above the $1 level we added some more Brainchip Holdings to the educational portfolio.
Ardent Leisure looks to be building towards a move higher.
